Five of the best firework displays to attend in Chelmsford this Bonfire Night

It may be over a week until Bonfire Night but it’s never too early to start planning ahead, so here are five firework displays we recommend attending in Chelmsford.

Stood in groups of friends or family, supporting local charities and organisations, there’s something about a firework bonanza that just makes it so amazing. However, the safest way to enjoy bonfire night is to attend one of the many events held across the county.

This year’s display at the City centre park will be the 42nd organised by the Rotary Club. With entertainment, fairground rides, food and drink available on-site, there’s plenty to enjoy alongside the firework display. Want to enjoy the display in style? Purchase VIP tickets and you’ll gain access to private toilets and a private bar inside the VIP tent.
